The First Few Notes

What’s a song that always puts you in a good mood?

I don’t think it’s really about the song.

At least not for me.

Most of the songs that put me in a good mood are attached to a memory.

A place.

A person.

A moment.

You hear the first few notes and suddenly you’re somewhere else.

Back in a garden.

Back in a car.

Back on a summer evening that seemed completely ordinary at the time.

One of those songs for me is “Mr. Blue Sky.”

Not because it’s the greatest song ever written.

But because it’s almost impossible to listen to it without feeling that things might just turn out alright after all.

Perhaps that’s why music is so powerful.

A song can sit quietly for years.

Then one day it finds you exactly when you need it.

And somehow manages to bring back a smile you didn’t even know was missing.

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
